Why work with a Psychologist?

We all contend with stress in our everyday lives, but how we cope with it can make the difference between growth and collapse.

Whether we have a diagnosed mental health problem or not, we are all inevitably bruised by life and the defences and symptoms we develop as a result can prevent us experiencing life and love to the full.

In the process of Psychotherapy, the therapist acts as a mirror, reflecting ourselves back to ourselves.

She becomes a fellow traveller in the exploration of our inner world, supporting, challenging and suggesting strategies to cope better.

How does Psychotherapy work?

Psychotherapy or counselling helps us to develop positive coping skills so that we can live more effective lives.

It helps us to rediscover our true selves behind the defences we build as a result of our emotional injuries.

It helps us to gain insight into our internal worlds – our ingrained beliefs, attitudes and hidden fears, and as a result we have more conscious control of our lives.

What can be gained from Psychotherapy treatment?

When we know ourselves better we can make more informed choices as we are less controlled by unconscious or hidden forces.

The Psychotherapy process helps us to tap into inner resources that make us more effective and that enrich our lives, to manage symptoms better and with hard work overcome them.

It can be a very rewarding process and is highly recommended for everyone.
